    For your info, a 5th grader knows the difference between RECORDED and REPORTED

    And by the way, all deaths, excluding the ones that were buried in the dessert by the Mafia are RECORDED by the State’s Department of Health/Vital Records.......It’s a state’s responsibility, not a law.

    Last, in reference to Covid, Florida and several more states have dissimilar REPORTING methodologies, for example; Texas health reports Probable/Suspected Covid Deaths, whereas Florida Health only reports “Lab confirmed” Covid deaths.

    Note; I’ve studied most state’s Covid REPORTING methodologies, and I suggest you do the same......Now you know why I no longer compare state’s Covid statistics, it boils down to apples and oranges.

    Ironically, several posters have repeatedly asked you to back up your one-liner claims, and your last response was?........psst; I read it last night.

    I know. But I’m a local here and I’m telling you that your conclusions are not supported by reality on the ground. Anyone can verify - pick any Walgreens, CVS, or Walmart pharmacy on Google maps in the state of Florida, call them and ask if covid tests are available, or whether they are experiencing delays.

    Did that impact the reagents too?

    I'm not convinced by peoples alleged personal stories

    It kind of crashes the idea that it's all so well organized.

    That’s the thing - the intervention in Florida was minimal, compared to New York. So, whether something was well organized or not - the ultimate result stayed the same.

    Due to numerous negative and positive factors/variables, I stopped comparing state’s Covid statistics, and Blue versus Red partisan manure.

    Well there are some issues in general, as in... it's not a covid death unless the person was tested positive while alive. Ones a person dies, it becomes irrelevant due to shortages of staff to look into it. And in Florida, they flat out ignore people in the covid statistics who live there but on paper live in an other state. Those deaths aren't counted as a covid deaths in the state where those people officially live, but simply disappear. And we all know how popular Florida is to have some 2nd mansion.

    I also found that the amount of covid cases is low, on paper,... but the death rate is sky high. I don't think that is something to be proud about. Since it hints that people aren't testing enough.


    https://www.latimes.com/california/...lorida-covid-cases-deaths-after-delta-variant
    Florida recorded 14,334 COVID-19 deaths in the summer, or 70 fatalities per every 100,000 residents — the worst tally of any state.

    https://www.factcheck.org/2021/11/s...a-posts-mislead-on-covid-19s-toll-in-florida/
    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis also touted his state’s recent COVID-19 data during an Oct. 29 interview on Fox News’ “Ingraham Angle.” Host Laura Ingraham introduced DeSantis by saying, “Florida is one of the big COVID success stories that the media would prefer to ignore altogether. Now, the Sunshine State now has one of the lowest daily case and death rates out there.” DeSantis replied: “I guess Florida is no longer part of the United States. They just pretend like we don’t exist.” He also said, “Now that we’re in a situation we have very low numbers, you don’t hear a peep.” The social media posts and DeSantis are correct that Florida’s daily COVID-19 case rate is currently low. But what’s left unsaid is that Florida’s total case rate is still higher than the national rate and among the highest in the U.S.
